As Time Runs Out

I grabbed this off the public library shelf and thought it would make decent weekend afternoon fare. I didn't hold hopes for greatness. I actually thought major cheese in a DVD box. I was surprised! At first I thought it would be a typical "too-busy-parent-gets-a-lesson" movie, and then it turned into an untypical kidnapping story. The acting was more than decent, as was the plot. There was a forced momentum to the action, and there was some predicable plot points, yet I sat riveted. I thought the ending would be predicable--nope, it wasn't. It was such a simple resolve it had me admiring the writing. Be it TV or the DVD it's worth a watch.
